Dragon locomotives

Brennan shows an extra-dimensional train yard wedged by spatial magic between the Metro-North and Amtrak places, full of animated trains with snarling, chrome-plated dragon heads at the front UC E11·01:15:32. They are full size, and the dragons snarl at most of the party UC E11·01:15:32 UC E11·01:17:08. One train, the Clock Gnome Express, headed for Realms of Shadow, calms as Kingston and Kugrash approach UC E11·01:17:08. The dragon train growls, nods, and says it does the Hudson Line, topping out at 180 on the express UC E11·01:17:50 UC E11·01:18:21 UC E11·01:18:35. It gives its name as Centifax UC E11·01:19:06.

The dragon locomotives are the animated trains of the clock gnomes' secret train yard, and Bilbry says they are ornery and offers rides on the magic trains UC E11·01:08:08 UC E11·01:09:16. The one Kingston meets is named Centifax and knows Kingston by name UC E11·01:19:06 UC E11·01:19:10 UC E11·01:19:13. On New Year's Eve Rowan asks whether a dragon train goes to Times Square, pats one, crawls into its body, and it rockets up UC E15·01:40:08 UC E15·01:40:23 UC E15·01:40:27.
